Trailer

[walker]

Good morning,
I've been away working all winter and have been really busy .
First thing is sorry for any unanswered mails etc

Just bought a penman army trailer to attach a frame and rooftop tent to .
Hopefully will be using this this summer so will keep you all updated

 

[Toddy]

Interested to hear how you get on with this
We had neighbours who made a lot of use of one of those pop-up tent trailers, the commercial ones. They said it was as comfortable as a caravan and a lot less bother to tow and to store. They used it in all weathers too, with two little kids.

Nice trailer; I look forward to seeing how that goes.

Though, in reality, you should pass it on to someone with a Defender so it's towed at the right height (unless you've got one parked around the corner of course)

 

[Watch-keeper]

Very interesting idea hope you will put loads of pics on so we can see how it goes.

In the middle of painting it with NATO satin black rooftop tent now mounted

Practice fit

 

[Broch]

Do you have a NATO hitch on your Estate Car?

 

[walker]

Yes I have an adjustable height hitch fitted now with NATO hitch .
Plus 7.50 tyres have been replaced with 235,60 for a lower stance

And before anyone else mentions land rover the answer is I don't own one , but I have owned a few and driven and towed numerous in the past which is why I love the luxury of my modern 4x4 . No more window slid open in winter so I have room for my arm not that it ever made much difference when shut to comfort I have a nice warm heated seat nowadays which is nice

Well no, we don’t want to distract you whilst you’re on the hard shoulder, it’s dangerous there.

Tent bolted down and a bit more paint

I literally just saw this on YT.

Watched this just recently, fantastic trailer.
Love the keeping it simple thing .
We did consider buying a ready made trailer £££££££££ nearly 20 to be exact, thought about all the pull out draws and sink and cooker etc etc again loads of cash and I might as well buy a caravan if I want a sink lol.
So like the guy in this video we are keeping things simple and enjoying the camping

Little update, going to give it a bit of a shake down in the march bank holidays, then hopefully Scotland in the summer plus every weekend we can squeeze in

 

[Robbi]

Fantastic idea, do you have a picture of it with the tent up.?

 

[walker]

Hopefully very soon
